Carlo Ancelotti has just passed through the press room of the stadium Legion to analyze the agonizing draw that puts Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, a round that the Whites have never missed since the European Cup was played in this format.
How is Rdiger?
:
“He cut his forehead, quite long, a lot of blood… but he’s fine. He just cut a lot. He wanted to go on the field but he realized he was injured. I think it’s nothing serious. He’s conscious, he talks, he smiles, he’s happy with his goal, which was very important”.
The match and Shakhtar:
“We haven’t played well but this team never gives up. We qualified for the round of 16 on a night that looked bad, that’s a good thing. They have changed the system to include players who cut passes between the lines, we had to play on the outside, we didn’t It went well… and his goal made it difficult for us. We played very poorly, but we’ve shown that we never give up. We played poorly because sometimes it happens in football. On the outside we didn’t look for dribbles to break lines. The positive It’s that we never give up. Only the one who goes through to the round of 16 can win the Champions League, and we’re already there. Beating this team is difficult”.
The mind in the Classic?:
“The plan was to change players after 60 minutes to freshen things up and I’ve done it before to try to equalize the match. We’ve reached this stage of the season well, with our goals fulfilled”.
Hazard:
“Eden has done his thing. He has had difficulties, like Karim, because they have closed well on the inside. He has complied. The issue of changes was raised that way because we have a powerful bench”.
Gol en fro:
“We have changed the way of pressing and they have found space on the side of Fede and Rodrygo for the center. It bothers a bit, especially because the game got complicated”.
Kroos:
“With Toni everything is clear: he will choose to stay or stop his career. He has been one of the best”.
